proposed Hawaii ban
Reading an article in the March/April issue of CORAL Mag, it said there has been some substantial movement on the ban of fishing marine animals in Hawaii.
However, some businesses have gotten involved like MACNA and LiveAquaria, saying that it's possible to regulate it, so that it's not over fished. Anyone think this will actually happen where an all out ban will be implemented? |

Not unless it's to someone's benefit.

MACNA is not a business, its a conference owned by MASNA, an NPO.

I can only imagine if something like this went through all the prices for local species would go up. Even if it was regulated I can imagine prices increasing...

THe priority should be about sustainability. From what I've read, yellow tangs have been almost wiped out in some areas, and what were once huge schools of yellow tangs are down to a small hand full, all because of over fishing for the aquarium trade.
Yes I have one in my tank, but I'd rather pay a bit more to ensure that these animals remain plentiful in nature. |
